Much of the work on the show has been on the numerous physical stunts: fights, garrotings, stabbings, death by cross-bow, etc. One scene, where Wood frees himself from a pair of trick handcuffs, almost turned into a disaster on opening night. Moore noticed at the beginning of the act that the positions of two chairs had been reversed. Had Moore not rushed backstage and told the stagehands to switch them during a blackout, Wood might have fastened himself to a chair for the remainder of the play...

Yet Redmond's Falstaff can also execute a devastating denial of courtesy in a sarcastic bow or, blessing the servants with holy water poured from a bottle of sack, a mean mockery of the church. As this Falstaff sighs and raises his eyes wearily to his eyebrows, he almost rises above himself when suddenly he turns and spits and hollers in full voice: "There's lime...
